The daughter of a cinema magnate, Amati grew up in rather opulent surroundings which eventually saw her being kidnapped outside her family's villa by a French mobster at the age of 18. Amati remained in custody of the kidnappers for over two months in a wooden cage and was eventually released when her father paid the near $1 million ransom using the box office receipts from the first Star Wars film.

After a number of unremarkable appearances in Formula 3000, Amati made her F1 debut in 1990 when she signed for the Coloni team. Unfortunately for her and teammate Paolo Barilla, Coloni were woefully uncompetitive and struggled to pre-qualify all season. She would then get a second chance at the sport in 1992 for the Brabham team. She would fail to qualify for the opening round in South Africa by over 4 seconds and was dismissed from the team almost immediately after the race.
